Relevance for associations considering expanding into Asia

Australian, New Zealand and American associations with an interest in the associations sector in Asia, whether to partner with local associations or to expand their membership and services to Asian associations, will benefit from the knowledge imparted at this detailed event plus the networking opportunities.

Interactive learning format, with a mix of session styles

Associations Forum has, for their five Australian National Conferences, used a variety of plenary sessions, speakers and panels, case studies and learning opportunities, supported by an optional familiarisation program.

Testimonials from the 2010 Associations Forum Australian National Conference held in Melbourne include:

• “Each conference becomes a richer learning experience…good variety that represents professional association interests” – Karen Bonanno, Australian School Library Association
• “Found all speakers to be very good at their business and approachable with follow up questions. Well done!” – Tony Featherston, Cottage by the Sea
• “Extremely relevant content to all NFPs- not just associations. Engaging and dynamic. Great group interaction” – Matt Burrows, Kimberley Division of General Practice
